I haven't found a Brets flavour that I like. So I'll stick to the house brand chips in my supermarket, or Croky.

As an American, the only one of them that's worth eating is Kettle Chips anyway. But even then, as a Massachusettsian, I would prefer Cape Cod chips.

Well, I'm European and I think at least 80% of the brands in the chips/crisps section are those 5 us brands. Loads of people buy them.

Kettle, Pipers, or Tyrrellโ€™s crisps for me.

Sell those in Canada. We need more options.

Santa Maria also has decent ones and is owned by Paulig which is Finnish-owned.

Balsnack is Estonian, probably not available elsewhere. They make the brands Kartulivahvel, Piraat, Vigur, and some less traditional ones like Ossi which is actually pork based

Walkers is about to go out of business, lol, because no one in America has ever heard of that brand.

Awesome EU brands and I have been enjoying my non-US snack life in the last few weeks lol - however: Nothing beats a warm focaccia bread and a good self-made bruschetta - way healthier than any bag of chips.

I recommend that you don't eat any of these brands food. it is better for your health
